Jada Vineyard & Winery 2014 XCV White (Paso Robles Willow Creek District)

Country: US / XCV
Variety: Rhône-style White Blend California
Winery: Jada Vineyard & Winery / Paso Robles Willow Creek District

There’s a cantaloupe-like ripeness on the nose of this blend of 37% Grenache Blanc, 33% Viognier and 30% Roussanne, but not overdone, layered with seared white peach, caramelized pear, poached apple and almond aromas. The palate is more restrained and quite grippy, with flavors of green-apple skins, Bosc pear and a touch of honey.
